One of Croatia's 8 national parks and part of the UNESCO World
Heritage, Plitvice Lakes with its 16 upper and lower lakes connected in cascades will
take your breath away. Take your time and spend a day or two
enjoying and you'll forget that virtual reality ever existed. Your senses
will be conquered by panorama as well as by details, not to mention the
vivid azure to turquoise colour of the water, the highest waterfall (75 m),
numerous species of birds, the variety of sounds of flowing water,
the echoes, the silence... Try to stick to the wooden paths while visiting the Park
and don't forget that you are in the wilderness.

The Park is equally beautiful throughout the year. Imagine the colours of the
autumn forest, or frozen waterfalls and lakes in the winter as if stopped in time by
some magic wand... The quantity and size of the waterfalls becomes indeed the largest in the springtime.
Nevertheless a longer stay in the Park during
the summer could be recommended. The days are as hot as they get along the Adriatic coast,
but the nights are pleasantly refreshing (a blanket needed). You may explore the
Park in many different ways - make wonderful photos, ride a bicycle, take a rowing boat on
Kozjak lake, visit Black, White and Plitvica rivers, go fishing on Prošcansko lake, taste the
traditional cuisine at Licka kuca restaurant..., or you may visit interesting places in the
neighbourhood - such as Cerovacke Caves, river Gacka, Rastoke in Slunj, Tesla's Memorial Centre
in Smiljan, the Paklenica National Park, the Krka Waterfalls National Park, the Adriatic
coast, Bihac in Bosnia and Herzegovina, or enjoy swimming in the river
